“Attention! The EFCC reminds us: Spraying Naira (or any currency) at parties/events is against the law! Let’s celebrate responsibly and avoid fines. Respect our currency!
If you must give money at a party, make sure you put it in a basket or in a bowl or box in front of the person at the party and don’t drop any currency on the floor. This is advised by the EFCC. Ignorance it’s not going to be an excuse. Let us be aware and abide to the rules since it’s the law of the land.”
